Natural Timber Variation:
Please be aware that like all timber products, there may be a natural variation in the grain and colour than what is shown on the product image, but we will attempt to match it as closely as we can to what is shown.

The Hydrowood Story

Couchmate is fortunate to have access to rare and desirable Tasmanian timber called Hydrowood which is sustainably sourced from underneath Lake Pieman on Tasmania’s West Coast.
Hydrowood Couchmates are also put together by the team at Oakdale Industries, supporting Tasmanians living with a disability.

Secure a rare piece of Tasmanian timber in your home today with Couchmate.

Here’s a bit of information on the wonderful success story that is Hydrowood.

Preserved Deep Under water In Tasmania’s Forgotten Wilderness…

Below the morning mist and the glassy waters of Lake Pieman on Tasmania’s west coast lies a treasure hidden for over 25 years: an ancient forest – flooded and forgotten when the Pieman River was dammed to create hydro-electricity.
Here, lost in the deep dark waters, ghostly trees still stand tall on the lake’s bottom. Lost, that is, until today.

Thanks to an incredible vision, and even more incredible feats of modern engineering, we are undertaking one of Australia’s most ambitious forestry projects.
We are creating history by delving deep below the waters of Lake Pieman to resurrect the precious timber below.
This project will unlock supplies of specialty timbers so scarce they were thought gone forever.
Species such as Tasmanian Myrtle, Sassafras and even the legendary Huon Pine will once again be available in quantity.
This isn’t reclaimed wood, salvaged from some previous structure – already worked and full of bolts and nails. Nor is it a lonely log found years dead and scavenged from the leaf litter of a musty forest floor.
This is real timber. Timber (re) discovered. Timber that master builders dream of working with, harvested in a way you wouldn’t believe and in quantities the world thought it would never see again.

I ordered two of the original Couchmates which arrived last week whilst I was in hospital following the birth of our first child. Returning home to these has been the best! I honestly don’t know how I would have survived this first week without them and the convenience & versatility they provide. Having a set up next to me on the couch for my water, baby bottles, coffees, food etc is a small thing that makes life that little bit easier right now & I know well into the future as well. Thank You !

Awesome product and super communication. It fits perfectly; product was exactly as per the photos in exactly the stain that I had wanted. Extremely well made. Regular emails kept me updated on process/progress. A practical and feel good product with brilliant customer service to match. Will certainly spread the word and hope to use again. Could not rate and recommend highly enough.

Absolutely love it. I have a toddler and another baby on the way so wanted a practical solution to prevent accidental spills. The couch mate is perfect.

Steph –30/08/2016

Really useful and wonderfully made. Only slight downfall is that it wasn’t quite the colour I was expecting – maybe this is to do with colours on different monitors but I did also find it hard to visualise what it would look like from the small coloured stain circles. Regardless, we love it and we love the story behind it even more!

I got one of these couchmates for my Mum for Mother’s Day. She had her favourite chair that she always sat in but no room for a side table, so drinks got sat on the floor or she had to hold them all the time. Now she has drinks, food, iPad, plays cards….you name it in her chair and loves it thanks to the couchmate. Fantastic quality, can’t fault it. Can’t recommend high enough. Get yourself one or give it as a gift. Great Tasmanian product!

Its great. No more spillage and my 5 year old loves it. She uses it constantly. Cleaning up milk is a job of the past. My beer sits quite nicely of an evening too i might add. Definitely recommend for anyone.

You truly do not know how much you need a Couchmate until you have used one!
I’ve had mine for a couple of weeks now and to be 100% honest I would hate to live without it now!!
Think about how much stuff you sit on the arm of your couch/armchair…..drinks, food, laptops, iPads, pens and papers….the list is endless. I personally have a glass coffee table which i hate putting things on as I don’t want to scratch it-so the Couchmate is a true life saver for me.
I can rest drinks on there without the risk of spills, I use it for writing and sorting paper work whilst watching TV. I sit my laptop and iPad on there and have a stable surface to work from.
The product itself is high quality-beautiful wood which is made to measure to fit my couch exactly. I can’t tell you how much I love my Couchmate-it’s a fantastic, high quality product and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Couch mate is super convenient! It hasn’t moved from the day I received it, being a huge tea drinker it’s made life a lot easier and secured my spot on the couch ???? the service is fast and queries were dealt with efficiently. Highly recommended.

Wonderful space saver! We don’t have a Coffee Table, so this is so easy and convenient to use. We first saw this when you were on The Living Room a few months back. Well done and thanks for the great customer service.
